See more FTP Examples

Download a directory tree from an FTP server, re-creating it on the local filesystem. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

ftp = Chilkat::CkFtp2.new()

ftp.put_Hostname("ftp.example.com")
ftp.put_Username("test")
ftp.put_Password("test")

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect()
if (success != true)
    print ftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Set the current remote directory to the root of
# the tree to be downloaded.
# success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("/something");
# if (success != cktrue) { 
# 	println ftp.LastErrorText;
# 	return;
# }

# Download the entire tree, recreating it at c:/temp/something
success = ftp.DownloadTree("c:/temp/something2")
if (success != true)
    print ftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

success = ftp.Disconnect()
